In the UK, Port Technology International reports in Antwerp, Hapag-Lloyd’s Colorado Express bunkered 1,320 metric tonnes of ExxonMobil’s B25 bio marine fuel mix, marking a step toward lower emissions for global shipping. Composed of ExxonMobil’s Premium HDME 50™ fuel and meeting ISO 8217:2017 standards, the biofuel blend achieved a 20.1% reduction in well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional marine fuels.
“Hapag-Lloyd aims at having net-zero carbon fleet operations by 2045,” stated Ilyas Muhammad, Head of Green Fuels at Hapag-Lloyd. “We appreciate ExxonMobil’s efforts to supply us bio blend with ULSFO, which is another step forward in our decarbonisation journey.”
The B25 blend, verified under RED II sustainability guidelines, was safely used on Colorado Express’s Wärtsilä engine, maintaining emissions well within acceptable NOx and particulate levels. Pelin Gillis, ExxonMobil’s Marine Fuels Sales Manager, remarked, “ExxonMobil is looking for ways to support our customers to reduce their GHG emissions. We are proud to have helped Hapag-Lloyd on their journey to a lower GHG emissions future.”
